i jus recently done the conversion and what pisses me off is that i just can't get all 4 lights to light up...i got the tripple projector lights....and only sometimes 3 lights lite up when i use my high beams....my low beams work, and my high beams work...but only seperate....once i turn on my high beams my low beams turn off....and sometimes the passenger low and high beam work at the same time but never the drivers side....i had it once that all 4 lit up but i was like this is too good to be true so i turned it to low beam and it didn't work again....here i got pics of the light sequences so u can see what i mean

low beamhttp://img70.photobucket.com/a...8.jpg

high beamhttp://img70.photobucket.com/a...9.jpg

and sometimes this happens but never all 4...except for this one timehttp://img70.photobucket.com/a...0.jpg

what do you guys think....im starting to get frustrated.....and i tried hooking the fogs to the retractable headlight motor but i cant seem to get that working right either......

umm, $h*t..... well, I"ll be damned. I didn't know all 4 were supposed to light up or are they???

When I turn on the high beams on mine, the low beams turn off. It swtiches like you said. Same with my other friend. I thought about wiring mine so they do what you want them to do. But didn't think they came stock like that.

Maybe you got some headlights that someone already tweaked and messed with to do that? Anyone else???

Yea they do. I have a imported s13 with dual projector's and I can get both low beams, both high beam's and fog light's all on at same time.

Well, tomorrow i'm going to somehow find a way to wire my lights.So basically, I should try and setup it up so the low beams and high beams stay on when the high beams are on correct?

I'm even thinking of juss wiring it so all 4 lights are on all the time, since i drive with my high beams on anways since the lighting SUCKS A$$. Either way, I'll do a write up so you can fix yours too.
